NSIS, backed up by the MBO Honour Guard, have arrested sixteen middle ranking NS officers ranging from a Major in the Terrestrial Forces to the First Officer on an unnamed cruiser in the Space Fleet. All have been accused of being against the MBO, of spreading anti-Mutre Bee and anti-Caratore propaganda and attempting to disrupt loyal MBO-New Sparta personnel.
The head of NSIS, Koval said that all will be executed once they have made full confessions. Viceroy Caratore said the problem was minor and had been dealt with.
